West Allis NATIONALS Baseball

Jared Stengel had a two run homer amongst his three hits and Curt Pryal and Matt Soderlund added three hits and two RBI respectively as the Nationals held off the Racine Kiwanis 5-2 Thursday night at Zirkel Field in West Allis.

Stengel's two run homer in the fourth broke open a 1-0 game and provided Nationals pitchers the space they needed to close the deal.

Jimmy Jungbauer earned the victory with six strong innings.   Jungbauer allowed only one earned run and struck out 8.  Dillion Engel earned the save, striking out 6 while throwing the 8th and 9th innings.

Next up is a non-league tournament on Sat and Sun in Green Bay.  The Nats will face the Appleton Legends twice and the Green Bay Storm once.
